Really? That one map file?
« on: January 04, 2013, 03:16:52 am »
So, I was just messing around, and then I thought, " Hey, maybe I can make a hight map with my own drawing tool " ( As in, other than Gimp ) So, I just made a little white line on my terrain and saved it, ( All of this was a pretty bad idea ) and got onto FH, and clicked " Map maker " and suddenly, it said " Feralheart.exe has stopped working. " So, I was like. " Oh well, looks like I ruined it! I'll just go to Cape. " So I clicked " Start " and it said " Feralheart.exe has stopped working " Again. So, I erased the line I drew, and FH still won't work. I know I shouldn't mess around with my foulders too much, but I was just being stupid. Anyways, can anyone help?

You may have to delete the map file, and if that doesn't work, it probably created a conflict between the programs. This may lead to having to re-install FH, unfortunately.

I understand, and this may be what messed it up, because usually, default subjects are not meant to be changed. As I said, reinstalling may be the last hope for your FeralHeart, sadly.

When making a heightmap you need to make sure it fits these requirements:

- 513x513
- Greyscale mode, not RGB mode
- Saved in .png format
- Saved in your terrains folder

If that fails to work then I would go with what Hallucination has already stated, re-install.
Will be inactive due to work and exams.
